Sewer Line Repair in Worthington, KY
A lateral serving a house in Worthington belongs to the property, not the utility — which matters more here than usual, because what it is made of is not settled by the build year. There are 788 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1964 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Orangeburg cannot be ruled out by date in Worthington, where housing typically dates from 1964 and the plumbing code still permitted bituminized fiber. What settles it is whether the pipe still holds a round section.

What went in the ground around 1964
A lateral laid in Worthington in that period is most likely Orangeburg or cast iron, with clay still going in at some depths. Which of the three you have is not something the build year can settle on its own. More on Orangeburg pipe.
What a camera survey should settle here
Three materials were going in the ground at once in these years, so the survey is identifying the pipe before it diagnoses anything. The full picture on Orangeburg pipe.
